UPDATED: MAR 20, 2006 Rerate 3/20/06: Wow, I had this over the weekend and I must say that I have a completely different take on this beer. First it exploded out of the bottle. Super lively pouring forth. The nose was absolutely wonderful. Perhaps one of the best noses I’ve smelled. A tart apple, bitter, musty, horse blanket nose. Wonderful. I would get this beer again just to smell it. The flavor is nicely balanced with a strong sour taste up front and then it rounds out with a great sweet finish. Very light. White pepper, spices, sugar cookie, bread.
Distilled orange color. Sweet and spicey flavors with a thicky, near syrupy mouthfeel. Some citrus, grass hops in the end. The front end dough, cookie, bread flavors really dominate.

UPDATED: DEC 21, 2017 Wow. Pours hazy pure gold with bright white head. Aroma of lime sorbet, pepper, barnyard and of course oak. Very oak forward with a hint of that malt peaking through the wild funk. not over dry but a clean finish. Very interesting.
